Until someone gets hurt...

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

That's a very neat video. The elephants seem quite well behaved. Yes, it could all go to hell quickly, but I think it'd take a stupid act by someone to get the shit started...

Or a bull in musth!

Or worse.... Getting them so used to humans poachers can literally walk up to them. Then they will simply be another statistic and those people will be wondering how come baby Weddingtons family never drops in anymore??

Cool

I have had a similar experience in India.

My late friend Mark Davidar used to feed the wild elephants with Jack fruit. The big tuskers used to come right up to the verandah - just a meter or two from us!

This one was about 10 meters from us.

I get a bit turned off by seeing wild animals near human buildings-especially modern structures.Simliar to the hyena and Kudu picture recently posted, the thing I found gross was not the kill but the animals in the restaurant.

Yep - This is a continual battle with tourism operators. They habitualize animals to humans and the inevitable happens. The animals then begin to cause so much trouble they wind up being culled. God forbid that a tourist or local is injured or killed - which is happening with frequency. But the tourism operators could care less, they are only after tips at any cost. The tourists love it, the tour operators make more money and the animals wind up paying the price all because of stupidity and greed.
